Created over forty years ago, the Gap Foire Expo has become the major event of the Hautes-Alpes department. Every year in May, the Parc de la Pépinière, a large green space in the heart of Gap, transforms into a temporary city hosting over 200 exhibitors from across the department and beyond. The event attracts nearly 70,000 visitors over nine days, confirming its role as a showcase for the economic and cultural life of the Hautes-Alpes.
Exhibitors represent a wide variety of sectors: housing and construction, gastronomy and local products, well-being and health, automotive, art crafts, gardening, new technologies, tourism, and leisure. Demonstrations, tastings, and activities punctuate the park's pathways, allowing the public to discover local expertise and innovations.
Every evening, from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm, the Foire Expo takes on a festive atmosphere with a food court offering local specialties and open-air concerts. The musical program, varied and friendly, attracts a wide audience, from families to young people, in a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of the Parc de la Pépinière.
